Kungfu Schools Across South Africa
Posted by Bertus in General on Sep 4, 2008
We frequently get asked by our website visitors for kungfu schools in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and various other cities across South Africa; even Hermanus. Unfortunately we are only in the Western Cape area and cannot provide training in other areas at the moment.
So we decide to give you the opportunity to tell us about your kungfu school in South Africa. What we will need is the name of the school, area, contact person, contact number and anything else you would like to tell us. Everything can be posted in the comment section for other readers to find.
The only requirement is that the school teaches traditional kungfu.

Hi I am interested in doing wingchun, are there any schools in Gauteng? I stay near Norwood, regards Eric
@Eric. There are plenty of kung fu schools in JHB: Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre in Parkmore (if I recall correctly); Dean Jones is a skilled and dedicated practitioner (used to be in Edenvale); and other individuals with seemingly impressive credentials. There is even the SA Shaolin Temple, but I’m not sure if they offer wing chun.
Google will find them. Most important is to go and see a class, watch the instructor and his attitude to their students. Kung fu should be a lifestyle choice, as such, it should be a good lifestyle.
Train hard.
Hi Eric
I am in Brakpan on the East rand and I give Wing chun class as well as Tai chi and five animal (Dragon,Snake,Tiger,Leopard and Crane).
Hi all

Hi Grandmaster George,
Whereabouts are you situated?
I shudder at anyone referring to themselves as a Grandmaster – it seems to be a self inflicted title nowdays – has anyone noticed that?

Hi I’m 14 years old and am looking to start kung fu. Could you please tell me if that is at all possible and if there is a school in cape town, anywhere close to oranjezicht(the area close to town and on the foot of the mountain). I don’t have allot of knowledge regarding kung fu, but from what I’ve read it teaches you not only self defence, but self control and inner control, I would very much like to learn this very old and interesting art. please contact me via email.
Hi Daneel -
The Chinese Martial Arts and Health Center has a school in Obs (+-5km from town). I’ve been training at one of their Joburg schools for the last 10 years and have been very happy with what I’ve been taught so far.
For others looking in Joburg and Durbs, there are also schools there – Parkhurst and Fourways/Northriding.
You can see the school’s site at http://www.cmahc.co.za for more details.
